Definitions

  • the invention relates to a step for an escalator, with a step skeleton, which is made of sheet metal parts, as support for at least one tread element and at least one riser element, wherein the riser element has a web/groove profile, which is made from deep-drawn sheet metal, with webs and grooves and each web has a cavity as seen from the riser element underside and the riser element extends curvilinearly.
  • a step for an escalator has become known from the specification DE 3605284 A.
  • the step comprises a tread element with a plurality of horizontally extending strips and a riser element with a plurality of vertically extending strips.
  • the strips of the tread element mesh with the strips of the riser element of the adjacent step, wherein the step width is dependent on the relative position of the adjacent steps.
  • a step executes a relative movement to the adjacent steps in vertical direction, particularly in the transition from the inclined escalator section to the horizontal escalator section.
  • the step structure of the escalator is in that case transferred into a planar structure or band structure.
  • the height difference between two adjacent steps then changes continuously from the maximum value to zero.
  • the relative movement is produced by an appropriate course of the guide tracks for the step rollers and chain rollers.
  • the step has—in section in travel direction—an approximately triangular cross-section.
  • the riser element is constructed not to be flat, but as a cylinder wall section, thus arcuate in cross-section, so that the step in section in travel direction has the form of a sector of a circle rather than that of a triangle.
  • the gap between two steps is not, however, constant, but changes according to how large the height difference between two adjacent steps happens to be.
  • a step having a sheet metal skeleton that supports a riser and tread The riser extends curvilinearly towards the tread and has at least two regions with different radii of curvature. the concave sides of the regions facing towards the step inside.
  • a step formed in that manner has the effect that the step gap is constantly small. almost independent of the instantaneous height difference of two adjacent steps.
  • the step gap between the tread element and the adjacent riser element thus always remains almost the same size regardless of the position of the step gap.
  • the risk of accident or the risk of catching items of clothing, sharp objects, shoes, children's fingers and so forth is thereby thus further substantially reduced.
  • the step gap no longer opens up, but also there always remains the same size.
  • Lighter steps also mean a lower drive power for the escalator drive.
  • the significant components of the steps such as, for example, step cheeks, tread element and riser element, are produced from thin deep-drawn sheet metal by means of a deep-drawing method. Notwithstanding the thin sheet metal, the step satisfies the prescriptions and load tests of European Standard EN 115 as well as American Standard ASME A17.1, according to which the step has to satisfy a static test and a dynamic test. In the static test the step is centrally loaded with a force of 3000 N acting perpendicularly to the tread element, wherein a deflection of at most 4 mm may occur. After the action of the force, the step should not have any persisting deformation.
  • the step is centrally loaded by a pulsating force, wherein the force varies between 500 N and 3000 N at a frequency between 5 Hz and 20 Hz and at least 5 ⁇ 10 6 cycles.
  • the step may have a residual deformation of at most 4 mm.
  • the components can be produced in production-optimised manner from a sheet metal roll—which is held by means of an unwinding device and can be unwound—of, for example, 2 m to 4 m diameter hereinafter, called sheet metal coil.
  • the work flow can be designed to be free of interruption and production time further reduced by multiple unwinding devices.
  • a step with skeleton-like or frame-like sheet metal construction is lighter and substantially more economic than a die-cast step of aluminium, particularly in view of the increasing price of aluminium.
  • a 600 mm wide step still weighs approximately 8.6 kg
  • an 800 mm wide step still weighs approximately 10.8 kg
  • a 1000 mm wide step still weighs approximately 13.1 kg. It is additionally advantageous with this mode of construction that the step width or also the change-over process in a case of small batch numbers does not require expensive additional operations.
  • a step optimised with respect to minimum weight and maximum load according to the above-mentioned EN 115 is possible with thin deep-drawn sheet metals of, for example 1.1 to 1.9 mm thickness, which by means of a deep-drawing method enable a maximum stiffness of the load-bearing components. Stamping or bending methods would also be conceivable, but the finished step would be substantially heavier, because in these production methods greater sheet metal thicknesses (at least 4 mm sheet metal thickness) are necessary.
  • the riser element produced from thin deep-drawn sheet metal which is deep-drawn from, for example, 0.25 to 1.25 mm thickness to 10 to 15 mm, has by its web/groove section sufficient stiffness in the case of extreme loads. Notwithstanding increased stiffness, however, the weight of the tread element remains small.
  • the riser element weighs 0.7 kg for a step width of 600 mm, 0.9 kg for a step width of 800 mm and 1.1 kg for a step width of 1000 mm.
  • the strength of the riser element is dependent on the material.
  • the elastic limit is at 380 to 480 N/mm 2 . Thereafter the material goes into the plastic range.
  • the yield point is at 400 to 580 N/mm 2 .
  • the elastic limit is at 400 to 520 N/mm 2 . The material thereafter goes into the plastic range.
  • the yield point is at 470 to 590 N/mm 2 .
  • the elastic limit is at 790 N/mm 2 .
  • the material thereafter goes into the plastic range.
  • the yield point is at 900 N/mm 2 .
  • the elastic limit is at 1020 N/mm 2 .
  • the material thereafter goes into the plastic range.
  • the yield point is at 1100 N/mm 2 .
  • the riser element according to the invention can also be used with steps which have, instead of the centre cheeks, bridge-like cross members connecting the side cheeks.
  • a die presses a planar sheet metal blank into a prefabricated die plate, wherein the edge of the sheet metal die is held fast by means of a holding-down device.
  • cold deforming which is produced by die and die plate
  • a transient plasticising and cold-hardening of the deep-drawn sheet metal takes place below the holding-down device.
  • a three-dimensional body with base and encircling walls is formed from the two-dimensional sheet metal blank, which is usually punched from a sheet metal strip or a sheet metal panel, wherein the wall thickness is slightly smaller than the original sheet metal thickness.
  • the base can be reshaped in further method steps, for example by means of hydraulic drawing into the die or the die plate.
  • the cheek eyes are thus produced.
  • the edge is separated from the walls by trimming, for example by means of a knife, punch, water jet or laser.
  • the deep-drawn sheet metal has to be provided specifically for the reshaping.
  • These steel types are substantially based on the strength-enhancing action of microalloying additives such as, for example, niobium and/or titanium and/or manganese.
  • the yield points, which are high by comparison with soft steels, of these steel categories allow cold deforming, with low deforming load, to the point of very demanding and complex component shapings.
  • the steel categories are matched to the respective deformation conditions, so that even in the case of small sheet metal thicknesses the tendency to deformation-induced contractions, formation of folds, tears or shape inaccuracies due to resilient springback is minimal.
  • the deep-drawing method is distinguished by a large ratio of sheet metal thickness to height of the deep-drawn wall as well as the high degree of load-bearing capability, accuracy in shape and stability connected therewith.
  • a sheet metal strip from the sheet metal coil is reshaped with the help of several roll pairs or roller pairs, which are arranged one behind the other, by cold deforming to form sections with high load-bearing capability.
